Macs. Users embrace them. Traditional IT admins do everything they can to avoid allowing them to be part of their environment. But resistance from IT hasn’t prevented Macs gaining a foothold in the enterprise. The same could be said of G Suite. These platforms are here to stay – but this doesn’t have to be a negative for IT admins. The video presentation below from Ben Toms of dataJAR and Macmule shows how it is possible to securely manage identities across Mac and G Suite using JumpCloud’s Directory-as-a-Service®.

Managing Identities on Macs with G Suite

Mac management doesn’t need to be the nightmare that some IT pros perceive it to be. As a matter of fact, it can actually be much easier than you think. JumpCloud’s Directory-as-a-Service offering is designed to manage not only Macs, but Windows and Linux platforms as well. This means that your organization gets to use whatever systems they want, with no vendor locking you into a platform.
